You got the wires right, but the coils might be off, I think the 1 and 4 and then 2 and 3 fire. Something like that. I don't know for sure. I'll send you the site. Hope this helps.

On a bike like the R1 that uses 2 coils to run 4 cylinders, most always 1 and 4 run off of the first coil, and 2 and 3 run off of the second. Both cylinders run buy the same coil fire at the same time, even though they are not both on the power stroke.

The motor will still run with the leads to the coils reversed, but runs much better when they are on correctly.

My car is missing need the wireing diagram for a 2003 mitsubishi galant es 2.4 ltr.

From the timing belt to the transmission the fireing orders are 1234 One and three fired the same time 2 and 4 fire the same time. Pull all the plugs for the spark plug on them and lay them across the top of the motor with plugs in them you can see which ones fire at what time. The spark plugs need to be touching a grounded part of the engine to fire. This also will help you find out if you have bad wires.

Where are the spark plugs located?

look at the distributer, a small cap with 5 leads going into it, follow one of the OUTSIDE of the 4 wires and at the end is the spark plug. if you are intending to change the plugs, mark them 1234, or change one plug at a time so you doont have wires allover the place, that's your best bet

1990 Camry runs roughly when accelerating, especially up hills...

This could be a problem with plugs, wires, distributors, fuel filter or fuel injectors. Try changing the plugs and wires first, then the fuel filter. If you are changing the plugs and wires, make sue you use anti seizing compound and dielectric grease.

Changing the plugs and wires ?

no, the plugs and wires are very easy to replace, the back wires may seem difficult, but just reach your hand very slightly behind the UIM and you can feel the top of the plug boot, maybe a 20 minute job for all 6
